Washing pussies.
That cat video is hilarious. You'd think they wouldn't make the machine that big then the cat wouldn't be able to jump around that much.
Anyway I have cat washing experience which I shall share with you. I used to have an old cat who the vet told us was dying but lived for about 8 years after that. She kept getting sick, we'd decide to have her put down and then she'd get better. Towards the end she had arthritis and wasn't able to wash herself properly, so I would wash her in the kitchen sink every now and then. It wasn't that hard, she was small and quite sick so couldn't fight back, and I think she was quite happy to be be clean.
Fast forward a couple of years, she has died and I have a new cat. He is a about 10 months old and I spot a couple of fleas on him. My dog is allergic to fleas so I say to my grandmother that I'll wash the cat, she doesn't think its a good idea, but I say, 'It'll be fine, I used to wash Lucy all the time.'
Unfortunately there is a large difference between washing a small, old cat and washing a cat in the prime of its life. After 5 minutes me, the kitchen floor and the benches were covered in water. I have scratches on my arms, neck and hands, and a lovely deep cut right along my breast (which hurt like hell). A soapy, slippery, dripping cat has bolted up the passage and is hiding under a bed.
Bad idea.
